Enum ServerState

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<ServerState>
      org.javagamesfactory.nioservers.ServerState

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ServerState>

public enum ServerState
extends java.lang.Enum<ServerState>

Represents the core internal state of any StringBasedServer (or subclass)

All servers are INITIALIZING at the moment of constructor call, and remain in that state until they are started. While attempting to start, the server is STARTED, until it either fails and goes to OFFLINE, or succeeds and goes to RUNNING. Stopping a server immediately sends it to STOPPING until it successfully reaches STOPPED, or fails and goes OFFLINE.

Method Detail

values

public static ServerState[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ServerState c : ServerState.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ServerState valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
